Nice Score Professor Jalfont

Professor Jalfont won a seat at the PCA EPT event this weekend, to be held in the Bahamas in January, so huge congratulations to him. He fought off a huge field to win a $30 rebuy on Stars to take down the $13k package which is a great achievement.

He kindly offered me the guest seat on the plane and at the hotel, but the fact that early January is when I am needed at work the most, combined with a $10k Main Event entry fee and a plunging GBP exchange rate has meant that I have to decline the offer. Also, with the economy in such a fragile state, it’s probably best I don’t race half way across the work to blow such a large amount on a single poker tournament when I could very easily be out of a job next year. Next time, Jalfont!

Anyhow, I’ll get the Professor to blog his Main Event report when he returns in mid January. Fingers crossed it will be a long one.

Tonight sees a spontaneous home game at the Baron’s. Short handed fare expected, including Fluke, Jody and Honest Dave. It will doubtless be brutal, and I’ll report on the anticipated comedy £400 pots with middle pair verses a draw tomorrow.

Thursday, I’ll play the League night at Loose Cannon, before getting an earlyish night to rest for Saturday’s bumper online session, which will include the FTOPS Omaha $500 and the FTOPS NLHE $100 rebuy. A big score would do nicely in the current economic climate…
